Industrial Ethernet is a powerful area and unit network based on IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet). Industrial Ethernet provides a seamless way to integrate into the new 

multimedia world.

Industrial Ethernet technology has the advantages of low cost, stability and reliability, high communication speed, rich software and hardware products, wide 

application, and mature support technology, and has become one of the most popular communication networks.

What are the technical characteristics of industrial Ethernet?

In recent years, with the development of network technology, Ethernet has entered the field of control, forming a new type of Ethernet control network technology. 

This is mainly due to the development of industrial automation systems towards distributed and intelligent control, and an open and transparent communication 

protocol is an inevitable requirement. Ethernet technology has been introduced into the field of industrial control, and its technological advantages are very obvious:

1. Ethernet is a fully open and digital network that allows devices from different vendors to easily interconnect according to network protocols.

2. Ethernet can achieve seamless connection between industrial control networks and enterprise information networks, forming a fully open network that integrates 

enterprise level control and management.

3. The cost of software and hardware is low. Due to the maturity of Ethernet technology, software and hardware that support Ethernet are highly valued and widely 

supported by manufacturers. There are various software development environments and hardware devices for users to choose from.

4. With the expansion and increasing complexity of enterprise information systems, the demand for information volume is also growing, sometimes even requiring 

the transmission of audio and video data. Currently, Fast Ethernet with communication rates of 10M and 100M is widely used, and Gigabit Ethernet technology is 

gradually maturing. 10G Ethernet is also being studied, which is much faster than fieldbus.

5. The potential for sustainable development is great. In this era of rapidly changing information, the survival and development of enterprises will largely rely on a 

fast and effective communication management network. The development of information technology and communication technology will be even faster and more 

mature, ensuring the continuous advancement of Ethernet technology.
